DescriptionCVE.org

The Livemesh Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data and Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 9.0. This is due to missing authorization checks on the AJAX handler lae_admin_ajax() and insufficient output escaping on multiple checkbox settings fields. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in the plugin settings page that will execute whenever an administrator accesses the plugin settings page granted they can obtain a valid nonce, which can be leaked via the plugin's improper access control on settings pages.

AnalysisAI

Livemesh Addons for Elementor plugin versions up to 9.0 allow authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the plugin settings page through missing authorization checks on the AJAX handler lae_admin_ajax() and insufficient output escaping on checkbox fields. The injected scripts execute whenever an administrator accesses the settings page if the attacker obtains a valid nonce, which can be leaked due to improper access control on settings pages. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the following specific, concrete conditions: first, the Livemesh Addons for Elementor plugin must be installed and activated on the WordPress site; second, the attacker must have valid WordPress user credentials with at least Subscriber-level access (the lowest registration role in WordPress); third, the attacker must obtain a valid nonce token from the plugin settings page, which the description explicitly states can be leaked due to improper access control on the settings pages themselves-this means the nonce is exposed in HTML source or via insecure endpoints accessible to low-privilege users; fourth, the attacker must submit the malicious payload via the AJAX handler lae_admin_ajax() to a settings update endpoint, exploiting the missing authorization checks that fail to verify the user should be permitted to modify that specific setting. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.4 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C) indicates network-accessible vulnerability requiring low privileges but with low attack complexity and no user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with or able to register as a Subscriber on a WordPress site running Livemesh Addons for Elementor visits the plugin's settings page to identify and leak the valid nonce token via the improper access control. The attacker then submits a crafted AJAX request to lae_admin_ajax() containing JavaScript payload injected into a checkbox settings field (which lacks output escaping). …
Remediation The primary remediation is to update the Livemesh Addons for Elementor plugin to a patched version beyond 9.0 as soon as the vendor releases it; however, no specific patched version number is provided in the available data, so administrators should monitor the plugin's WordPress repository page and Wordfence vulnerability database at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/24b9bf5a-19ac-4e99-b32d-1ab681356a1b for patch availability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
